Cuba promises ‘unbreakable resistance’ to US‘DECISIONS’: Cuba is open to talks with Washington and allowing additional investment, but it will not discuss changing its political system, a Cuban envoy saidAFP, HAVANACuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Tuesday said that the US would face “unbreakable resistance” if it tries to take over the island nation, as authorities scrambled to fix a nationwide electricity blackout.

Trump on Monday said that he would “take” Cuba, adding: “We’ll be doing something with Cuba very soon.”However, Diaz-Canel was defiant in the face of Washington’s threats. “Faced with the worst-case scenario, Cuba has one guarantee: Any external aggressor will encounter an unbreakable resistance,” he wrote on X.Cuba is open to broad talks with Washington and allowing more investment, but it will not discuss changing its political system, an envoy told reporters on Tuesday. “Nothing related with our political system, nothing with our political model — our constitutional model — is part of the negotiations and never will it be part of that,” Dieguez said.
